  • This place was absolutely in the most wonderful setting and walking down the stairs to the expansive sea views was very special. The home is architecturally designed and has a lovely feel to it. What a treat to sit on the deck take in the views of the start of the Abel Tasman national park, then take a dip in the infinity pool and jump into the spa was magical. The pool and spa were very clean. Kitchen had everything needed to make food prep a breeze. Top end appliances make living easy in this stunning home.

    Aroha C. - Apr, 2024

  • Our nearly 3-week New Zealand adventure was a belated celebration of our daughter’s college graduation, and staying at the Tokongawa Retreat couldn’t have been a bigger treat for her (and for us)! The property is truly special -- an amazingly designed home that beautifully fits its surroundings, with outside spaces (decks, pool, spa) that are complete paradise and absolutely breathtaking views from inside and out. My husband, daughter and I spent three blissful days simply swimming, soaking up the sun and enjoying this wonderful place. At night, we fully enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and roomy, comfortable indoor living spaces. And thank you to Rob and Mara, who were very responsive and kind hosts from reservation to check-out. Our stay at Tokongawa Retreat was the perfect way to end our travels on New Zealand's south island!

    Lesley K. - Mar, 2024

  • This is an amazing place to stay and well worth every penny. The views are amazing, the pool wonderful, and the home itself clean and welcoming. Bring your sunblock and you'll be in for a great time. You were all so easy to communicate with- tha j you for solving the water problem so swiftly. If anything the photos don't do the property enough justice - wonderful place!

    Nick W. - Mar, 2024

  • This is a beautiful home! The house is very spacious with 1 of the suites upstairs and 2 other ones on the opposing ends of the home (one of which has the queen bunk bed). We were slightly worried about the lack of AC, but the house maintains a comfortable temperature and generates a great cooling draft when the windows are open. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the swimming pool, which was nice and warm during our stay.

    Simon A. - Mar, 2024

  • I visited this absolutely beautiful home in late February and what a wonderful experience it was. The view and location of the home are next level spectacular and the home itself is very high end. I’ve stayed in Airbnb’s all over the world and this property has the best view of any home I’ve stayed in. I fully intend to stay here again, special special property!!!!

    Erol A. - Mar, 2024

    Katja J. - Mar, 2024

  • The views were spectacular. The hot tub and pool were amazing. Abel Tasman National Park is a very beautiful location. We felt that this stay was at a 5-star hotel with everything to entertain a small or large gathering.

    Dale G. - Mar, 2024

    William M. - Mar, 2024

  • If you ever need to treat yourself to a bucket list memory, this is the place. The home, pools, decks and views are awe-inspiring and the owners totally attentive. Many thanks from our family to yours. Many thanks again for your hospitality. We would love to return.

    Martin L. - Feb, 2024

  • We’ve left now :) everything was great! Thank you for hosting this beautiful home

    Simon A. - Feb, 2024

  • The house was a very clean and comfortable place to stay and was extremely well equipped. The views from both inside the house and the outside deck were gorgeous, and there were plenty of chairs and sofas on which to sit. The team provided excellent instructions beforehand and was very prompt in responding to the two questions we had. Overall we thought they did a terrific job and would recommend them and the house to others.

    Kevin L. - Feb, 2024

    Nikki - Jan, 2024

  • Beautiful location & really private. Outstanding views & really well located with short drives to Mārahau & Kaiteriteri. Only a 5 minute walk to Split Apple beach. The house is well equipped & spacious. It worked really well for 2 families. Rob was very responsive to our queries and communication was really good. I highly recommend this place as a high quality accommodation option in the Abel Tasman area.

    Luke P. - Jan, 2024

  • It's truly a beautiful spot and very good beds. Thank you for our precious family time here. We would love to return again another time.

    Cristina H. - Dec, 2023

  • This exceptional waterfront home will be available from mid December. All the comfort & privacy you can dream of, all-day sun, birdsong & a private walking track gently leading you down through the bush to the foreshore. We very much look forward to hosting our first guests in this stunning home & sharing what we are sure will be great reviews here. :-)
